Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared decided to move to Miami after leaving the White House. Eric is now in charge of running the family business. Tiffany recently got married. Barron is studying to become a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has remained closest to his father’s side.
At 46 years old, Mr. Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father began. He owns various businesses catering to conservative interests, such as a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting contract. Forbes has calculated Mr. Trump’s wealth to be approximately $50 million, mostly accumulated after his father’s political career following January 6, 2021.
Because of this, his colleagues say he does not intend to become a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and some new administration officials who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be politically risky.
Lately, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a sort of loyalty assessor. While they assess potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the incoming president is interested in appearance and communication skills, according to sources. His son, on the other hand, is more concerned with the sincerity of their intentions and whether they pose a threat to the principles of the "Make America Great Again" movement.
